The Zika virus outbreak in Brazil, linked to microcephaly in infants, is characterized as a potential "hoax" or cover-up for environmental toxins. The hosts suggest that the birth defects may actually be caused by heavy pesticide or herbicide use in Brazil, where certain chemicals banned in 22 other countries are still utilized. They note that the Zika virus has been known since the 1940s without previously being linked to such severe abnormalities.
